During this year's Qingming Festival holiday (April 4 to 6), the immigration inspection authorities across China facilitated in total 6.212 million inbound and outbound trips made by Chinese and foreign nationals, with a daily average of 2.071 million, marking a 19.7% year-on-year increase. Specifically, 2.76 million trips were made by the residents of the Chinese mainland (up 14.0% year-on-year), 2.755 million were made by residents from Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan (up 21.5% year-on-year), and 697,000 were made by foreign nationals (up 39.5% year-on-year). The immigration inspection authorities nationwide also inspected a total of 271,000 exits and entries of transportation vehicles (including planes, ships, trains and motor vehicles), a number reflecting a 15.7% year-on-year growth.

Under the unified arrangement of the National Immigration Administration, the immigration inspection authorities nationwide fully mobilized all police officers and took proactive measures. Predictions of peak hours of passenger flow were made based on reasonable grounds at all ports and released promptly to notify and guide exit-entry travelers to make reasonable travel arrangements. The authorities concerned also deployed sufficient police officers and other staff workers, and opened an adequate number of inspection channels. Given the large number of Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan residents and overseas Chinese returning home to pay homage to their ancestors, the large volume of elderly people, and other issues, special inspection channels helping passengers in need of special care were set up. All the governmental authorities involved collaborated closely to manage peak passenger flows promptly, ensuring efficient and orderly exit-entry processes. Throughout the holiday, cross-border travel at all the ports across China remained safe, convenient and orderly.
